Love, love, love Sterling. It's one of the few names I remember liking when I was younger and still love now. Also, atm I'm reading a fanfic where there is an original secondary character called Sterling and he's just awesome.

I like Sterling. The first thing I think of is a "man of sterling qualities". Unfortunately, in Britain, it would be most associated with the currency (british sterling). StirlingMoss was a famous race car driver.
